Innisfil playground floods prior to rainfall
The Town of Innisfil has temporarily closed a new playground on Mapleview Drive East after it flooded Aug. 20.
Staff was working to fix the situation, but the additional rainfall Aug. 21 may delay their efforts. As the park is still under warranty, a contractor was coming to investigate.
The waterfront park was completed recently and includes a swing set, large and small play structure. There is also a basketball pad off to the side. The new design incorporates features of the lake. There’s a scope for kids to look out to the water, and a panel with a compass on it.
While waiting for the park’s wood-chip bottom to dry up, staff is suggesting residents try driving to in Stroud to entertain the children.
